Doesn’t really matter ultimately. The A fund needs to be improved every contract until we negotiate one with built in COLA increases, same with all portions of the contract otherwise we won’t escape the “whack a mole” nature of our negotiations where we only focus on fixing 1-2 things at a time and even give the company givebacks.

Even if they voted no in 2015 they still didn’t rattle the cage loud enough to get others to vote no. “Well I voted no” isn’t a good enough excuse for not fixing the retirement in 2015 and it won’t be a good enough enough excuse for not fixing scope this round. “We’ll get em next time” or “we can’t fix it now” is not acceptable. Our job security is far less than that of even a UPS pilot, and it’s under immediate attack.
